Rachel partners with her clients to help them become aware of the ongoing patterns that continue to show up in their lives, understand why things feel overwhelming in the way that they do, and ultimately practice self love in a truly embodied form.

Rachel uses a psychodynamic and relational lens in her work. By joining with her clients to help them understand the uniqueness of their minds and their rich histories, clients are able to strengthen their sense of who they are and move towards healing and self-compassion. Rachel also enjoys working through the lens of attachment theory, bringing curiosity and care in order to understand how her clients show up in their relationships. Rachel encourages her clients to foster their own curiosity, anchoring them to a deeper and more authentic relationship with themselves.

Rachel specializes in working with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, women’s issues, life transitions, relationship challenges and healing from trauma. She also enjoys working with children and teens who are navigating their identity, anxiety, and the inevitable stressors that childhood can bring. Additionally, Rachel is  trained in EMDR therapy and feels passionate about including EMDR in therapy when it can be helpful.
